Every summer I spent in the country growing up I was always able to see my cousin and watch him flex his muscles(ha). My condolences to the rest of my family and know that ‘earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal”. My prayers are with and for you.
Herald was a good man . Always had a story to tell . From politics , religion, to life lessons .. I learned a lot from him . He could always make me laugh . He will be greatly missed . Prayers for the family .
Harold was a wonderful person. He would tell me stories about his past & what he learned from it. He is incredibly missed. He would come down to the shop I worked for all the time & we would talk for hours over coffee before my boss would get mad & make me work! Haha Wonderful memories I will cherish. His family is in my prayers! May God Bless you all.
